Hu Chan saw Qin Siyang driving farther and farther away, and he panicked.
"Don't keep driving forward! This is about enough already!"
But Qin Siyang pretended not to hear.
Then he asked calmly, "How are you going to search for those two kinds of small gods? Just on the surface, or can you do it underground too?"
"You think I'm a radar? You think I tied a locator onto those gods? How the hell am I supposed to activate my skill underground?"
Qin Siyang sighed, then pressed down on the gas pedal again.
"You can only search for gods on the surface? That's a bit troublesome."
Hu Chan shouted at Qin Siyang, "No matter how troublesome, you're worse! Turn around! Hurry up and turn back!"
Qin Siyang's gaze grew solemn.
If Hu Chan couldn't search for gods underground and had to return to the surface, then he didn't dare go too deep either.
If they ran into gods like that Ice Crystal Giant Moth again, it might directly knock out part of the drill cabin's functions.
This time, Li Tianming wouldn't be able to come outside the safe zone to save him.
Qin Siyang sighed again.
Seeing that he had already gone about a hundred kilometers away from the safe zone, he reluctantly stepped on the brakes.
"Alright, this should do. It's still fairly safe here."
"Safe my ass! Didn't you tell me you wouldn't hunt gods anywhere within 30 kilometers of the safe zone? And where the hell are we now?"
"This is 103 kilometers, obviously not 30. I didn't break my word."
"You're playing word games! Qin Siyang, there's no way I'm going to fool around with you in such a dangerous place!"
Faced with Hu Chan's accusation, Qin Siyang was indifferent.
"Then do you still want the Titan Grass Inner Leaf Fragment or not?"
Hu Chan frowned, "What do you mean? You want to go back on your word?"
"Go back on my word?", Qin Siyang gave a cold laugh, "If it were just at the edge of the safe zone, I could hunt casually on my own. Would I even need you to tag along?"
"Hu Chan, do you seriously think that strolling around the outskirts of the safe zone a couple of times is enough to get you a Titan Grass Inner Leaf Fragment?"
"You think I'm running a charity program or something?"
"Or do you think I'm so fond of you, the Holy Son, that I'd give you treasures just to curry favor?"
As the drill cabin gradually surfaced, the darkness around it faded.
Through the window, aside from scattered dirt, the glittering starry sky could also be seen.
Hu Chan clenched his teeth.
Perhaps it was because Qin Siyang had first given him a Titan Grass Inner Leaf Fragment as a deposit, that it muddled his mind.
He had actually thought he could score a bargain from Qin Siyang, just by walking a few kilometers outside the safe zone with him, he could get a life-saving Titan Grass Inner Leaf Fragment.
He had been far too optimistic.
Obviously, if you wanted a life-saving treasure, you had to risk your life to get it.
Qin Siyang said blandly, "If you feel it's not worth it, or too dangerous, I can drop you off at a safe place."
"As for small gods of that level, I should be able to handle it on my own."
"So? Do you agree or not?"
Hu Chan's brows twisted into the shape of the character "#," deeply conflicted.
"I'll count to ten. If you don't answer, I'll take it as a refusal."
"One."
"Ten."
"What the hell? What happened to two through nine?"
"Didn't feel like counting. Waste of time."
Hu Chan's eyes bulged with fury, "Qin Siyang, are you insane?"
"Come on, I'll send you back."
"I agree! I agree, isn't that enough?"
Hearing this, Qin Siyang pressed a button on the dashboard and gave a slight smile.
"You agreed of your own will. I didn't force you. I recorded our whole conversation just now, so don't even think about throwing dirt on me later."
"You!"
"What do you mean, 'you'? Time to get off. The sooner we kill them, the sooner we go home. You benefit, I benefit, everyone benefits."
Hu Chan was nearly driven mad by Qin Siyang.
In his heart, only two words remained, 'Motherflecker Qin-Siyang!'
The two stepped out of the drill cabin. Qin Siyang stored the drill cabin away, turning it into a ring and putting it on his finger.
Hu Chan gave a half-casual glance, but Qin Siyang said, "This activation device has a special lock. Only I can open it. Don't even think about it."
Hu Chan snorted.
"Alright then, Holy Son, go ahead and use your sacred skill to help me find the Blood Moon Tarantulas and Abyss Hounds nearby."
Hu Chan looked at Qin Siyang, "Step aside. I don't want you watching my skill."
"This wilderness is flat as far as the eye can see. Where am I supposed to step aside to?"
"Well, at least—"
"Enough," Qin Siyang waved his hand, "This is just a searching-for-gods skill, not some trump card for escaping a fight. What difference does it make if I see it?"
Hu Chan gave Qin Siyang a complicated look.
It really was like seeing a ghost.
What he said wasn't wrong.
But ever since teaming up with Qin Siyang, Hu Chan had never gotten the upper hand once.
Always at a loss.
It made him feel utterly uncomfortable.
Qin Siyang, a bit impatient, "Come on already, the longer you dawdle here, the more dangerous it gets. Let's hurry and get this done so we can get back."
Hu Chan was full of reluctance.
But in the end, he activated his skill.
He closed his eyes, his body radiating a dark cyan glow, along with a strange, pleasant fragrance.
Qin Siyang sniffed and couldn't help but say, "Hu Chan, you smell really nice."
"Shut up."
"Oh."
After about ten seconds.
The glow faded from Hu Chan's body, and the fragrance also vanished.
He lifted his hand and pointed in a direction, "That way has the most small gods, and there are signs of them appearing in groups."
Qin Siyang's eyes lit up, "Is it Blood Moon Tarantulas or Abyss Hounds?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I can only sense in general. I can't confirm the exact type of god."
Qin Siyang frowned with dissatisfaction, "If you can't confirm what type, then why did I even bring you out here?"
Hu Chan snapped back, "Can you give it a rest already? If you've got the ability, then go search on your own! It's already good enough that I can tell you that way might have the gods you're looking for. What more do you want?"
"Want me to give you a full-map radar scan or something?"
"If I could know exactly where each type of god was, would it have taken me half a year just to find one Sacrificial Giant Vine?"
Qin Siyang sighed, "Fine, I really did overestimate you. Let's head that way and see."
Both of them sulking, they walked toward the place where the small gods were gathered.
Their pace was quick, their legs leaving afterimages on the ground, kicking up a trail of dust behind them.
After crossing two or three hills, Qin Siyang finally saw the large number of small gods Hu Chan had mentioned.
"Hu Chan, are you screwing with me? This is what you found for me?"
Qin Siyang pointed at a huge swarm of Long-legged Worms and Iron-helm Fleas, looking at Hu Chan with dissatisfaction.
Hu Chan, however, was unapologetic, "Just tell me, isn't this a large group of small gods?"
"Cut the crap. This kind of trash isn't even worth touching. Hurry up and point in another direction to search…"
But just as Qin Siyang was complaining, the ground beneath them began to tremble slightly.
He scratched his head, "What's going on? An earthquake?"
Hu Chan's face suddenly paled, "No, it's a god!"
"What god?"
Hu Chan swallowed hard, his body trembling uncontrollably, "The Iron-helm Fleas and Long-legged Worms, they're all…"
Suddenly Qin Siyang also realized something, and he sucked in a cold breath, "They're all Sandworm Servants?"
